an interesting day...to say the least
Ok...here's an update for you.
I was up until 1 last night doing physics...didn't quite understand any of it but whatever. So I got back to the apartment at 1:30ish (ps I miss Weinstein) and fell asleep around 2 or 3. For some reason, it was really hard to fall asleep even though I was dead tired. Whatever. So I woke up at like 7:30 EXHAUSTED. Now, I know everyone wakes up tired, but my legs were unable to function until 8am. I thought I was gonna die. Good thing is that I straightened my hair in 20 minutes (and it looks great) and actually made the 9am bus. Or should I say trolley. Why the fuck does NYU send the flippin' trolley to pick kids up at 9am. It's the effin' rush hour for us. So of course I don't have a seat and have to stand up. Plus I'm a wee bit nauseous at this point and the bus keeps like stopping short. Great. I make it to campus by 9:10 and grab a large coffee from the Farsi coffee cart outside the physics building. (By this time I realize I left my cell in the apartment...sucks because I wasn't planning on going back till 10ish tonight) Physics lecture was great because my professor mentioned ATWOOD'S MACHINE and I totally giggle because I live/breathe/sweat 'The O.C.' Besides that, I meet this girl that tells me her TA for recitation is really great after I tell her mine sucks. So I get her TA's name and time of recitation and plan to switch to that. My TA usually goes over homework first and then does supplemental problems for those that need it. Some people drop off their hw and just leave. That was my plan, not because I knew everything, but because I didn't want to sit through his shit. I'd rather just go to a homework clinic in my spare time. BUT NOOOOO. Today he decides to change things up a bit. We go over the supplemental problems first, and THEN go over hw. Great. Whatever, I'm talking with my new friend about our obsession with TV and when we mention 'The O.C.' my lab partner tells us that his friend's brother is Josh Schwartz. He looks like Josh Schwartz? Not just that. His name is Josh Schwartz? There's more to it. He's THE Josh Schwartz, exec producer of 'The O.C.'!!!!!!!!!!11~ So I freak out and he goes on to say that his friends visited the set since they're TV majors or whatever and...Ben McKenzie's gay. And my lab partner's gay so I would think his friends would know who's gay and who's not. So of course I get a little upset but then realize that it makes sense. He does have gay tendencies and looks a wee bit uncomfortable during the kissing scenes. But I'm still upset. Oh well. I leave recitation after that and come back to the apartment to try to switch into that new recitation. I call my advisor and ask him what I should do. Well, the deadline was last week, so I should talk to THE advisor (Meredith January). So I call her to make an appointment and she tells me she has walk-in hours. So I take the bus back to campus (with my cell phone this time) and go see her. I see Kendra when I get off the bus and she tells me that this January lady's a bitch and doesn't really listen. Fucking wonderful. So at this point I'm ready to cry if nothing goes my way. I meet with January and she tells me it's out of her hands now and that I should go to the physics department. She wishes me luck but doesn't know if they'll listen to me. Alright, so now I'm feeling the tears. And the anger at NYU for sending me in circles. I love my advisor but couldn't he tell me this? Of course not, that would make it too easy. Anywayy...I go to the physics building and see my TA in the office. Shit. I go to the bathroom to waste some time and then go back to see him in the advisor's room. I pretend to focus on the bulletin board so he doesn't see me. Success. He leaves and I finally get to the advisor. I start by introducing myself and he asks my last name, if I'm a physics major (um...NO), pauses, asks if I'm even taking physics (now why the hell would I be there if I didn't?!?) and then asks me what the problem is. I apologize in advance and then tell him that I really need to change my TA if I want to do well in this course, and I really really do. He tells me that I could just go to Rachel's recitation (the good TA) but hand my hw in to Brett (my real TA). Since hw doesn't count for anything, I should just try and whatever I don't get I'll get from Rachel's class. So do I have to go to both recitations? Nope. I don't even have to go to any! This may seem obvious to some people, but we HAD TO go to chem recitation since we had quizzes every week. And now our hw doesn't even count towards our grade...it could only give us extra credit if we do it all well. So this is good news, but I want to officially change it because that's how I roll. Well if I wanted to do that, I'd have to change my lab too, and I totally don't want to do that. So yeah, all's well. My schedule is off now because I didn't think I would want breaks, but now I realize that they're really convenient. This way I stay on campus and read or something. Phew. I go to Pizza Mercato and have a quick lunch before going to Advertising class, which was good for a change. There were minimal baseball references and I actually did the reading so I knew what was going on. Yay for me. So after that I call the NYU computer store which I hate because they suck at giving estimates as to when a new shipment of HP printers is coming in. How do I know this? I ordered a printer on the 16th...they said it would be here last Monday. Didn't get here till today and even then it wasn't in the computer system. I had to call the manager (who is a dead ringer for Mark Cohen and gave me his card since I was being fucked over so badly) and he checked it for me. It came in! So I picked that up and came back here (after a longgg bus ride with Raghav and Kunal...the most interesting Indian people you'll ever meet). And now I'm LJing my day here for you all.
My day did NOT go as planned in the least. But things worked out pretty well and now I'm going to go back to campus to get some calc help. Because I am a reformed student and will do really well this semester. I hope.
